Miss Flora McFlimsy wants, Of all things,
to go to a summer resort, but she thinks she
can't because her wardrobe is rather down
at the heel. She thinks she must have loads
Of gowns to be anybody at the springs, in the
mountains, or by the sea. She is mistaken
The woman with ten trunks and forty gowns
is quite infrequent, and laughed at on the sly
when she does appear. The world is not made

men. All the refinement and taste do not

European steamers, or accompany great cara
vans Of trunks to Newport or Saratoga. In
fact, l have sometimes wondered how some
of the very rich managed to make them
selves 30 hideous.

Of the earth, whose acquaintance to any one
would be benefit and enjoyment, who DIRE

feel cheap and poor just to read about them.
You think that IL some people are going it

| and the bow. Well, I have, alasl been at
numerous summer resorts, and have never
yet seen extravaganza clothes do anything for
their owner save make fool Of her. admit
that nice clothes are a necessity, a comfort,
an adornment, an enjoyment, but they are
not to be worshiped. They have no inltnor-
tai souls. But nice clothes are not necessarily
either extravagant or numerous heard q
man say quite recently-and he was not with
out experience, either-that a lady could
break mans heart just as soon and effect

laces. l will confirm his opinion, for have
seen it done again and again. l will go far

never seen clothes, and clothes only, break
any mans heart. II gowns could perform

No; clothes are not to be worshiped
Neither are they to be sighted. But about
your summer resort wardrobe, don't fret
You can go through with flying colors on
four dresses, three il necessary, il they are
well chosen. What are they? II is not
essential that they are Of just such and such
material, but see to it that they comprise
the correct and comfortable thing for morn
ing and for evening. For morning. which is
generally supposed to last until evening, get
something you can ISLAM around" in, and
will lock stylish, and yet be becoming and
easy. Don't be too much dressed I'D.
Nothing Is better for every kind Of summer
lounging place, interior or seaside, than a
dark blue flannel. But it should be of good
quality, soft. fine and not heavy. Have it
made in the simplest way, tailor made, if
you are addicted to corsets at all hours. Or
You can hive two waists with it, a tight fit
ting basque and blouse waist; but Won
want your skirt very simple, kilt or box
plated, with little or no drapery. Or You
can have jerseys of both styles, to match.
and save the bother of having waists made.
If you don't take to blue flannel, there are
lovely grays and ecrus and blacks. Or YOU
can have nice black or gray mohair, simply
but gracefully made, and you can rack
around in it till the end of time and it will
still look well.
Last year these mohairs were quite in vogue |
i'll Paris and at French Watering places, and |
were introduced into New York this season. |
though SO far they have not been extensively |
taken up, though predict that another season |
will see them quite popular. They are splendid |
for travelling dresses, light, cool and dust |
shedding. This mohair is exactly the same
as the Turkish brilliantine of ten years ago,
a superior kind of alpaca. Or you will find
that good bingham nicely made will answer
quite well for morning wear at the resort
Then you will want a black surah silk
for dress up occasions. Two waists to this
will help you OFT. One cut little low in the
neck and with lace or illusion sleeves, for
evenings when you want to look particularly
swell, and a nice cream white gown of some
soft wool goods, also for evening. To this
you might have pretty low necked corsage
and close fitting jersey. At the risk Of
over old straw, will say again
That now is the time to buy jerseys The
shops have them of every cut. style and tex
